Is it possible to type the pound sign (£) on an (American) Kinesis Advantage keyboard?
I'm using the United States International keyboard layout, so pressing ' and then o should make an accented ó in Microsoft Windows 10.
The problem is that I'm using a Kinesis Advantage keyboard and it doesn't have an Alt Gr and it doesn't have a numerical keypad.
Any ideas if there's a way to type the pound sign (£) on this keyboard?
This is the layout:

On the US-International keyboard under Windows, if you have two Alt keys, the right one gets remapped to AltGr. If you don’t, using Ctrl+Alt provides the same functionality - that is, to enter ß, you would use AltGr+s, or Ctrl+Alt+s.
For the pound-sterling sign £, one would type AltGr+Shift+4, or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+4.

@JakeGould - I routinely use the US-INT keyboard because I do a fair amount of multilingual document processing - so I didn't have to hunt and peck; it was something I had known for the years that I'd been doing it. FWIW, it seems to be consistent across Windows and Linux; I have a Mint install in a VM with the US-INT layout selected, and it seems to work the same.

@JeffZeitlin: I use a customized version of US-INT which allows the ASCII grave, apostrophe, tilde, quote, and caret characters to be typed without annoying dead-key behavior. Add Alt+GR to those keys to get dead keys. I have no idea why MS makes keyboard customization such a pain.
